Thermaltake TTeSports Challenger Pro Gaming Keyboard Review

The TTeSports Challenger Pro is a decent gaming keyboard, aimed mostly at professional gamers who frequent LANs, it has key backlighting which can be controlled by the touch of a button and also sports an unique feature: a little fan that is meant to cool your hands during intense gaming sessions!
